Angliss Great Chefs program inspires industry and students
Restaurant industry icons including Philippe Mouchel, Frank Camorra, Guy Grossi, Nicky Riemer and Christy Tania will work with William Angliss Institute students as part of the Great Chefs program for 2018.
Held in the Angliss Restaurant at William Angliss Institute, the Great Chefs Program commenced in 1993 with industry leading chefs coming into the Angliss Restaurant to give students first-hand experience and exposure to the latest techniques and cooking methods being used by the best in the business.
At the same time, hospitality students get first-hand experience performing front-of-house duties for guests, gaining experience with wine-matching, mixing cocktails and customer service.
More than 18 chefs will participate throughout 2018, including Angliss alumni and Bellota Wine Bar head chef Nicky Riemer in September to showcase her classic produce-driven menus.
Popular Masterchef guest and former executive pastry chef at the Langham, Christy Tania opened her very own dessert store Glacé Frozen in Windsor, Melbourne. Christy will work with students and present a four-course dinnertime dessert degustation in June.
In April Cecconi’s head chef Maurice Esposito will headline and mentor students to produce a specially designed four-course dinner menu based around his signature Italian cooking-style, revitalising the classics with contemporary style.
The program has also held Great Chefs’ events off-site at some of Melbourne’s signature restaurants including Matteo’s and MoVida with resounding success.
In 2018 an off-site Great Chefs lunch will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Melbourne with chef Jason Camillo to give students an insight into working in a real kitchen and restaurant environment.
William Angliss Institute Manager-Centre for Food Trades and Culinary Arts Mark Agius said an integral part of the Institute’s approach to education and training continues to be our close partnerships with industry.
“This training approach seeks to ensure that students have the expertise that makes them graduates of choice in a dynamic industry,” Mr Agius said.
More than 100 Great Chefs have contributed to this program over more than twenty years - some are William Angliss Institute graduates and many now employ apprentices from the Institute.
It continues to be the most successful program of its type in Australia, fostering communication, connections and networks between students, teachers and the industry.
